I must have been high when i posted this.. sorry.

 

[Isaac K]

Just wanted to note that Shenmue II (Xbox) is no longer $9.99 at EB. It now shows online at $29.99 new and $24.99 used.

 

[Kenneth Cummings]

I get Golden Sun 2 later on after beating both Pokemon Ruby and the orignal Golden Sun. Good job once again.

 

[Chuck West]

I'll be picking up POSTAL 2 for the PC this week. It looks like lots of fun.

 

[Ike]

I've been reading the list for the last couple of weeks, and it's very helpful. Thanks.

 

[JamesH]

I like this thread and www.salescircular.com quite a bit. Salescircular usually updates around 1-2AM Saturday night, so it's good if you want to check early, but this thread is more extensive and accurate.

Oh, and don't forget your local pawn shop! Today I got an unopened Red Faction 2 and Metriod 2(Gameboy) together for $20. I can sell Metroid on ebay for that much, so RF2 was basically free! Great game too, a big improvement on RF1.

 

[JeffreyMercado]

I was really hoping Wolverines revenge was on sale this week. I thought for sure Circuit City would have cut $10 bucks off as they have for the last couple of new releases. I got Indiana Jones for $39.

 

[GlenHaag]

Edit: I updated the deals section at the bottom as a good deal of EB's deals have gone away.

I'll try to keep better tabs on them.

Thanks,

Glen

 

[DonRoeber]

It's worth noting that the Toys R Us Buy 2 Get One Free deal also works on amazon.com. I'd really like to take advantage of it, since there are some great games there that I haven't bought yet, but unfortunately, I've spent too much money on games recently, and have a backlog of things to play through.

[Drew Dockery]

I want to make sure I'm reading that EB deal right... I can buy 2 GBA games and one GCN game and get the $40 voucher right?

 

[Dah-Dee]

Drew, that sounds right to me. I suppose you could hunt down a customer service number or e-mail for the web site folks and ask them to be sure.

 

[GlenHaag]

I added Kelly Slater's Pro Surfer for the GC and Xbox to the price change list.

I had a chance to play the PS2 version a while back and enjoyed it. If you like Tony Hawk, chances are you'll like this one as well.

Edit: Also added Evolution Worlds for the GC. I have both of the RPG's that are in this set for the Dreamcast, and I used them as a test to see if my wife would like RPG's. She sure seemed to... now I just have to start moving her into other sorts of games.

Glen

 

[GlenHaag]

Added Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring to the list of recent price drops.

I think we mentioned this one a few weeks ago, but I put it back on the list just so it's out there.

Edit: Also put UFC: Throwdown for the GC on the list.
